I have dabbled a bit with it quite a few times and was quite happy about it, but my main issue is that AFAIK there is not "pure" Java API for Realm.

It seems there have been attempts at removing Android dependencies but it seems they were never finished, meaning you can't have it running on desktop apps.

This is (sadly) a showstopper for me.

Adam from Realm, thanks for the feedback. We do plan to offer a pure Java API, but it hasn't been a top priority. However, with the launch of Realm Mobile Platform we have been getting more requests for this because teams want to use Java vs. Node on the server-side to build integrations. My best guess would be Q3 or Q4 of this year, since we still have higher priority features to work on.

Have you looked at Couchbase? NoSQL on-device db, cross-platform for Android, iOS, native Java, and others. (I work for Couchbase.)
